Cochabamba Against the War

My ISO comrade Karl, Mauge, Boris, and Marcelo from the Fundacion Abril (above), some other folks, and I organized a protest against the War in Iraq the day before the war's fourth anniversary on March 16th, 2007. The Fundacion Abril is the organization that grew out of the Coordinadora de Agua y Vida that coordinated the massive protests in Cochabamba' s 2000 Water War against Aguas del Tunari, connected to the U.S. corporation Bechtel, that had been granted a contract to administer Cochabamba's water. Dozens or maybe even a few hundred people checked out the information we posted over the course of the day and were happy to hear from us in the speak-out that there is a resistance movement growing in the U.S., among soldiers, and among the Iraqis themselves.
